Launched on 09/10/2018, the American Century U.S. Quality Growth ETF (QGRO) is a smart beta exchange traded fund offering broad exposure to the Style Box - All Cap Growth category of the market.

Is American Century U.S. Quality Growth ETF (QGRO) a Strong ETF Right Now?

Historical returns of growth funds are impressive, but QGRO's lower exposure to mega-caps has led to mixed performance and underperformance relative to top growth ETFs. QGRO's diversified portfolio focuses on large and mid-cap U.S. companies with strong quality and growth fundamentals, but its small positions in top companies affect profitability. The fund's valuation is below growth ETFs but slightly above the Russell 1000 index, driven by high-valuation technology stocks and underweight in large, high-margin companies.

The American Century U.S. Quality Growth ETF invests in companies with high-quality fundamentals and positive growth. The QGRO fund has outperformed the S&P 500 since its inception but has mixed results against its category benchmarks.

The S&P 500 may be hovering around all-time highs, but uncertainties still prevail in the market. Geopolitical crisis, China's property market crisis, uncertainties about interest rates and severe job cuts from the U.S. tech sector could cause economic slowdown.

3 Reasons Why Quality ETFs Worth a Bet

QGRO's index changed effective May 31, 2023, and has held up reasonably well since against large/all-cap growth ETF alternatives like VUG, SCHG, and QQQ. With 10% allocated to Magnificent Seven stocks, QGRO can complement your portfolio in ways most broad-based growth ETFs can't. Its 22.15% estimated EPS growth rate is the third-best in its category. Managers keep track of allocations to "stable growth" and "high growth" companies, aiming to strike a reasonable balance between long-term viability and speculation. For Q3, the breakdown was 65/35.

QGRO: New Index, New Quality, And Growth Opportunity

Approximately $140 billion of net inflows went into market-cap-weighted equity index ETFs in the first nine months of 2023. The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) is an example of such a popular ETF.

Fundamentals Matter to ETF Investors

QGRO leverages an index-based quality- and growth-centered strategy. It is overweight in the IT, consumer discretionary, and health care sectors. Information technology, together with energy, is the major contributor to QGRO's about 20% forward EPS growth rate. Energy players (predominantly refining companies) bolstered its 4.6% EY. QGRO has outperformed IVV and QQQ since the index change.
